Since 1965, the Autism Society has embraced its mission to make a better world for all with autism. Shortly after its founding, the Autism Society held an inaugural national conference to discuss the state of children with ASD in America. This meeting brought together parents of children with ASD to share resources, experiences and develop strategies to be effective advocates for their children.
The Autism Society’s annual conference represents one of the largest gatherings of autism families, service providers, educators, policymakers and key allies in the disability community. Each year, the Autism Society’s annual conference and exposition feature a keynote presentation, multiple breakout sessions, a conference exhibit hall with autism resources and networking opportunities with conference attendees from around the nation. This conference is the nation’s oldest and largest annual gathering of a variety of members from the autism community. Bluebee Pals will be represented as an educational and communication tool for parents, teachers, and therapists to utilize in the home and school settings. Many schools in the Northeast regions have already implemented Bluebee in their classrooms.
The Autism Society National Conference is an excellent opportunity to reach the broader autism community, and increase the network of vendors, professionals working in the field, individuals diagnosed with ASD and their family members. Engage face-to-face with over 1,000 attendees including some of the most influential leaders committed to improving the lives of people living with autism. Attendees attend the conference to achieve an understanding of the resources and services available that enhance the lives of individuals living with autism.
The Autism Society, the nation’s leading grassroots autism organization, exists to improve the lives of all affected by autism. They do this by increasing public awareness about the day-to-day issues faced by people on the spectrum, advocating for appropriate services for individuals across the lifespan, and providing the latest information regarding treatment, education, research, and advocacy.
